George Forman : My own conversion was truly religious. A deep pull from God changed my life. I had an experience in Puerto Rico in 1977 where, for a split second in my dressing room after I fought Jimmy Young, I was out of this world. I was dead, and then came back to life. Now you think about it. Everybody asks right before they die, if they could relive their life, how would they change it ? And I had another chance. I was getting ready to die, and I said to myself, 'If I could relive my life, I'd be nicer to people; I'd believe in Jesus'. And that's what I did. I've given my life to Jesus. So the next time I go to meet God, I can tell him I've lived my life right.
